Over two hundred runners ran the five- and ten-kilometres Campusrun on Saturday. With a wave of support from the audience, volunteers giving water bottles and cardboard signs with sentences like \u2018I don\u2019t know pain, only pain au chocolat\u2019, race secretary Floris de Vries of Roadrunners is happy with this first edition.<\/p>\n

There were 209 participants on Saturday, with 92 running the 5 kilometres, and 117 running the 10 kilometres. Although disappointed that the event wasn\u2019t sold out, Floris de Vries of Roadrunners is still very happy with how many people showed up: \u201cYou\u2019re thinking that running is such a hype that you can sell out an event in an hour, but usually it takes weeks or months, or they aren\u2019t sold out at all. But I was happy with more than two hundred people.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of new faces participated this year: \u201cThere were twelve people who also ran the last Erasmusronde, so a lot of new runners. The organisation can be proud of reaching so many new people\u201d, said Floris. They all brought great vibes with them: \u201cPeople stayed after the run to have a protein shake. We were cheering on the runners, especially the ones arriving last.\u201d<\/p>\n

Encampment<\/h2>

From 13 May till 17 May, Occupy had set up a campsite on Erasmus Plaza<\/a>. During the Campusrun, the encampment was still present. Floris revealed that there weren\u2019t any issues encountered with the protesters, excluding some \u2018late minute stress\u2019: \u201cI got a call on Friday evening from the municipality with some questions, to see if there were any differences planned with the track.\u201d<\/p>\n
